Home-made Ranch Dressing
I must confess that I had never heard of Ranch Dressing before I started blogging. It’s definitely not an Italian thing. We use more vinaigrette based condiments for our salads and vegetables, so I never really knew it. After trying it though, I must say that I fell in love with it. I am a…
Cinnamon Coconut Loaf
I love coffee cakes or sweet loaves. It’s not something Italian – actually, it’s not Italian at all – but I really enjoy a slice of sweet bread for breakfast or with my cup of tea in the afternoon. This Cinnamon Coconut Loaf is moist, fluffy and airy and with a delicious cinnamon flavour. The…
Strawberry Lemon Cream Scones
I must confess I had never had “flavoured” scones before. Whenever I have eaten scones, it’s always been the traditional British kind, filled with jam and cream. I LOVE those! A little while ago, we were invited to celebrate the first birthday of the son of some close friends of ours. He is the CUTEST!…
Ricotta Pancakes with Honey Butter
Autumn holidays are now over here in Sydney, but we had some fun in the past couple of weeks! One of the days, we decided to have brunch at home. My kids love pancakes. My eldest daughter calls herself the “pancake monster”, so you get the point. Truth is, I rarely make pancakes at home,…
Cajun Burgers
With both the Super Bowl and Mardi Gras around the corner, how about putting some cajun spice into your life? As you know, I love to come up with different combinations of flavours for burgers and this recipe is an absolute keeper. Remember I shared my home-made recipe for Cajun Seasoning in my last post?…

Today’s post is not a complicated recipe, but it is a very useful one for people who do not live in the USA and don’t have access to store bought Cajun seasoning but still want to enjoy the delicious dishes you can make with it. Even if you can buy the ready made mix, it’s…

Almond and Cranberry Bark
I made this bark to give to my friends as part of the annual Christmas hamper. This year, I put a wedge of my home-made Panforte, some Truffle oil, my Rosemary Pine Nut Sablés and this Almond and Cranberry Bark. The perfect holiday hamper must always have some chocolate! I am sharing this recipe today…
Peanut Butter Honey Fudge
There is no Christmas without fudge. I have already shared with you a few of my favourite fudge recipes: Chocolate Fudge, Salted Nutella Chocolate Fudge, Brigadeiros, Cookies and Cream Fudge and Matcha Nama Chocolates. So, today I thought of adding a new flavour to the list: Peanut Butter Honey Fudge. It is very smooth and perfect…
Sticky Chinese 5 Spice Wings
You can never have enough chicken wings recipes! That’s one of my favourite mottos. They are great for entertaining and for footy night and I am yet to meet someone who doesn’t like them. Today’s recipe is delicious: sticky, sweet, spicy, tangy and hearty thanks to the Chinese 5 Spice Mix. These wings are baked…
Creamy Pumpkin Soup
Come September and I start craving warm comforting food. It does not matter that we are in the middle of spring and the days are getting longer here in Australia. I have been living here for almost 10 years, but I think my mind will never get used to the reverse seasons. So, to satisfy…

Home-made Ketchup
And here I am with another one of my DIY projects. Only, this one is really easy. Did you know that making ketchup at home only took 20 minutes? And it is as easy as stirring all the ingredients together and put the pot on the stove. That’s it. It probably takes longer for it…

Super Bowl Roundup
Today’s post is not about 1 recipe. As Super Bowl is approaching, I thought to make a list of the best party food MsM has to offer. Being Italian, I do not follow football… but I enjoy some good soccer. And a good spread during a game! In this post I am going to give…
Asian Chicken Sliders with Sriracha Mayo
This weekend is all about Super Bowl food, so if you are like me and LOVE the kind of food that is served for such sporting events, you are in for a big treat! As you know, I don’t follow football and not living in the USA, also means no Super Bowl… but Italians are…

Lime and Macadamia Nut Bark
Can you believe that I had never made chocolate bark before?? I know, so weird, especially considering that I am a chocoholic! In my defence, I must say that it is not something we usually make in Italy. For Christmas, we mostly make nougat. But bark is so good, so versatile and, let’s face it,…
Cookies and Cream Fudge
I made this Cookies and Cream Fudge to give to friends as part of this year’s Christmas hamper. It is so easy to make and it tastes amazing. My husband is a huge fan of Cookies and Cream anything, so he was over the moon when I made it. But he wasn’t the only one…
